1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

New King James Version

¹⁴ For ^(A)if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him ^(B)those who ^[a]sleep in Jesus.

¹⁵ For this we say to you ^(C)by the word of the Lord, that ^(D)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are ^[b]asleep. ¹⁶ For ^(E)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with ^(F)the trumpet of God. ^(G)And the dead in Christ will rise first. ^17 (H)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ^(I)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus ^(J)we shall always be with the Lord. ^18 (K)Therefore comfort one another with these words.
